Batman: The Dark Night

Previous batman movies were not that impressive. They did not took it seriously. Now it is different...

I know The Dark Night is going to be an awesome movie but I never expect it to be that awesome.

So unpredictable, new story line, different from the original...I reckon this movie will be the movie of the year. So far it is my movie of the year.

So to those who have not watch this...better go watch it.
An awesome movie and highly recommended, 5 out of 5.

Treasure hunt in Sungai Liang

Do you know that Sungai Liang, a suburb near the border of Tutong district and next to Lumut, is a historical place. In the past, Chinese vessels docked in Sungai Liang and made trades to the locals. "Liang" in chinese literally means pretty (correct me if Im wrong), maybe that was how Sungai Liang got its name. My UBD friend told me that there is one place in Sungai Liang where you can find old pieces of porceliene plates and bowls. Cool eh.

Based from my last post, it reminded our past treasure hunt. My brother brought his friends and I to this well. They believed there is treasure chest inside the well (haha). They poked the well using long stick and they noticed the middle section was shallower than the edge and it felt like a box. So they tried to drain the well and have a look. But we didn't manage to drain the well (just using a damn bucket). It was a spooky place when I think of it. It is located near this bridge and the river. I heard this well was used by past armies and now they still use it for their training.

Disappointed with our treasure hunt, we went home with empty handed except wet dirty cloth...

Toy gun, Brunei version

I remember when I was still a kid, my brother and I used to make this toy gun. I think only some people in Sungai Liang know about this gun. The gun is made from a plank of wood, a nail, strong rubber band and a peg (sapit). For the ammo, we use pine tree seeds which can be found along the coast lines near by. But the pine seeds must have the attachment so that the peg can hold it in place. It is powered using elastic force from the rubber band. The purpose of the nail is to hold the rubber band in place.

You may asked me why we (Sungai Liang past youth) invented this toy gun (not really sure who actually come up with the idea)? Because there were no computer games, playstation and other source of entertainment around. So we come up with this. It is pretty fun, like paint ball these days (well obviously paint ball is million times better, but still good fun in that time). I remembered my bro managed to scratch his friend (because the pine seeds have some sharp edges). This is one of cool games we did and I want to share it to my fellow Bruneians.

Look at the youth these days eh. Ipod, psp, high tech phones and many more. I noticed not many more kids visiting houses randomly to collect green packet. Last time we used to crash houses, trying to make some money, not just get free food. I really missed those days. Now, I'm too old for green packet hehe.

Anyways, feel free to post your experience about any games that you come up with when you were a kid or any experience you wanna share.

thanks for reading

Embrace High Definition

First of what is this high definition (HD) anyway? why do we need to upgrade to HD tv? What the hell is HD ready and Full HD? What is the difference between 1080i and 1080p? Is 1080p is really full HD? What if there are other tv in the future more than 1080p like 5000p or 6000p? what is that called? Beyond HD?

You might be asking these questions if you are not familiar with High Def tv. HD is simply higher resolution than standard definition (SD) tv. 1080 represents the display resolution. "p" stands for progressive scan. The "i" stands for interlaced. So progressive scanning is better than interlaced. If you want to wait for tv more powerful than 1080p, then just buy HD ready (normally 780p) tv or keep using SD tv. Your choice.


So is it worthed to upgrade to HD now? If you are into Home Theather, the answer is yes. Buy blueray DVD player or PS3 and you can play Blueray movies which is many times better than normal dvd (imagine 25GB of information for single layer). But if you only going to watch your cable tv (which is still in SD in Brunei), then don't buy unless you want to impress your mate or neighbour. If there are cable/pay tv that offer HD or RTB start to introduce HD broadcasting, then it is a good time to upgrade. Other countries already using HD television program or broadcasting. If you getting PS3 or Xbox 360, then it is a good time to upgrade your tv.

Next which one to pick? LCD? Plasma? LED DLP? LCD technology is improving. They able to produce good black now and no sulphur burn unlike plasma tv. If you want to hang your tv on the wall and save space, get LCD (about 32-40 inch). If you want bigger size, then go for plasma because plasma is cheaper than LCD in big screen. If you want freaking huge and have plenty of room for your home theater or gaming, get LED DLP. Best thing about DLP, its cheaper than plasma and LCD, light source using LED last as long as LCD tv (about 60,000 hrs compared to 10,000hrs of use for the old DLP tv). It brights up instantaneously unlike previous model.

Next step, go for full HD 1080p if you want the best in the market. Some say there is no difference between 1080p and 1080i unless you look really close but technically there is still a difference. Personally I definetely buy full HD tv and my choice is Samsung LED DLP Full HD tv simply because it is as good as Sony bravia x-series with smaller price tag.

Here are Full HD tv that I recommend based from my research:

1. Full HD tv

LCD: Sony Bravia X-series (abit pricy but worth spending), LG Scarlet and Samsung Series 6.

Plasma: Panasonic Viera Full HD tv

LED DLP: Samsung LED DLP Full HD tv

Blueray player: Panasonic DMP-BD30 or PS3

Near Jerudong Park, this club caters to the most exclusive of golf aficionados — advanced bookings are required. The course has been described by its designer, Ronald Fream, as the "Augusta National of Asia". It is considered one of the best courses in Asia, and is among the most exclusive in the world.
